Carpenter Ants

Effective Residential Pest Control Solutions

Greenville, SC Carpenter Ant Control Professionals

Action Pest Services provides treatment for carpenter ants. Carpenter ants are insects that live in large colonies of over 50,000 or more ants. For the many thousands of worker and swarmer ants in a colony, there is usually only one queen that will lay every egg. Once the carpenter ant colony reaches over two years in age, it can start producing swarmer ants, which come out in masses from May to August in the eastern part of the country, and from February to June in the western part of the country. Although carpenter ants are harmless to humans, their bite can be mildly painful, and they can cause damage to structures by digging tunnels in wood to build their homes.
